Anders B. Dohlman, PhD

Postdoc & Damon Runyon Fellow in Matthew Meyerson’s lab @DanaFarber @broadinstitute, @harvardmed. I study genomics & host-microbe interactions in cancer.

1/🧵 For the last several years, I have been working on a topic rife with controversy: robust characterization of the cancer microbiome. Today, my pan-cancer, multi-kingdom analysis of the cancer microbiome is available online at Cell.

At the @cityofhope symposium, NIH Director Bhattacharya, who appeared on video, said he envisions emphasizing clinical research in the role of the microbiome in cancer.

As stirrings rise of a cancer “moonshot” focused on the relationship between the human microbiome and cancer, @cityofhope’s Marcel van den Brink says this is the perfect time for such an influx of support.

@AbrahamGihawi @YuchenGe1 @BasselGhaddar @CancerGrand @DamonRunyon Feels like the cancer microbiome is finally coming into focus!

11/ Importantly, I also want to acknowledge the analyses by @AbrahamGihawi, @YuchenGe1, and @BasselGhaddar whose publications over the last year set the stage for this work, as well as @CancerGrand and @DamonRunyon for supporting this work!

[Anders B. Dohlman, PhD @abdohlman]

Today in Nature Microbiology, we discuss the past, present, and future of the "cancer microbiome" -- especially timely in light of recent analyses by @AbrahamGihawi and @YuchenGe1, who offer a more rigorous path forward for understanding tumor microbiomes (and the lack thereof!).

Congrats to @NiranjanTW, @cedriccstan, and
@minghao_chia on a very important negative result! This may finally put the dubious "blood microbiome" hypothesis to bed. However, the evidence for transient bacteriemia (esp. F. nucleatum!) in healthy individuals is very intriguing!

[Niranjan Nagarajan @NiranjanTW]

We find no evidence of a blood microbiome as a growing number of recent papers have suggested!

Painstaking work sifting through whole genome sequencing data of 9,770 healthy individuals by @cedriccstan & @minghao_chia to remove contamination artefacts.

Congrats to @Elinav_Lab and Dr. Robert Jenq's lab for this very interesting and important work!

[ElinavLab @Elinav_Lab]

Happy to present our new work @NatureMedicine, a close collaboration between @Elinav_DKFZ and @Elinav_Lab @WeizmannScience, describing the fascinating and surprising impacts of the #microbiome on CAR T immunotherapy in humans suffering of intractable lymphoma. Kudos to our
